Often Piglet and Winnie the Pooh
head out to the zoo
a slight detour and they come up to a beehive
for sweet honey it sure is worth a dip and a dive

delicious pain
painful scars borne by a bug bite
toxins therefrom causing deep pain
melt in bliss mists that rise at night
cool heat that cleanses our soul’s stain
from heart abode in witness mode
moment by moment, poised in time
in staid silence we break the code
that releases love’s bliss beat chime

You make the music
this solemn heart beats like a drum when you're in view
an arrangement full of ache pulls from under my skin
drawn to you, your vibration
I lap up every sound spilling from your lips
tasting your silver tounge
soul instrumentation, how delicious is this sin
A willing victim of your siren song

Vampire Vexation
Eeevile in the realm of the Undead
Chilled blood red cold
Vampire vexation - sexy at best.
Wrapped in comfortable uncomfortable silence
Silence so sharp - you can feel the fangs at your neck.
Sanctimonium or sanctimonious
Vampires dripping of sophistication
They make a show of letting you know
That morally they ARE the BY FAR
With eyes so dark, so deep, so very

Plum Delicious
Jack Horner was an impish little boy, who lived on Cherry Orchard farm;
That produced varieties of fruit. For a mellowing sun, kept groves warm.
The Horners had always been a serious set-no nonsense, like spring rain;
And tried to teach their son responsibility, like time's jewels that remain.
But, alas, it was a big challenge, with hilarious grasshoppers

Tom Yum
Come to my lips, elixir!
Your divine broth,
clear and pure,
humble and exotic,
simple yet complex.
Your hint of lemongrass,
a sprig of cilantro,
a handful of shrimp.
"Mild?" "Yes, rather mild,
I'm just not that brave."

gossips
My Grandmère and I have long, gossipy conversations,
where we fall into our own chatty, slumber party rhythms.
She’s met or knows everyone important, and people tell her things.
They DM her or whisper secrets of lives ordered but loveless,
of careers choked by excesses and indiscretions.
She gets stealthy, leaked business reports of purported fortunes gambled and lost or

Delicious
You invade my senses
Memories of hands touching
Innocence and beauty
Softness and warmth
Entangled in dance
I see you
Beyond your skin
I see. You.
Delicate and perfectly formed
Soft focus now, still adored
I hear you
The music of your voice
Cutting through the noise of the world
Soothing
Familiar
Your fragrance
Subtle yet ethereal
As if you are in the room
Yet you are vacant
Just a
